I prefer the reviews of Kurt Munger, not so much numbers. Maybe Photozone could remove the ratings at all. There is always a bias in this ratings. There are many studies about ratings, and actually they show that ratings often depend more on emotions, how good was you last meal etc. than what you actually measure.

 

Look at the Lumix G 7-14mm f/4 ASPH, it got 4 stars. Do you get so much better pictures from it?

 

The only aspect which bothers me is the decentering.

I agree on Mr. Munger- I really like his conclusions as they are biased towards photography not pixel peeping.

But, being old school, I really like MTF charts and photozone makes it easy to compare lenses without reading a lot of text. Their star rating is strange though (is it a Nikon lens = add one star, a sony lens = take away 1.5 stars).
